Microsoft Wants to Resurrect You as a Chatbot
Quote: In a December 2020 patent, Microsoft outlines a process for uploading data about a person—even the deceased—to turn their likeness into a chatbot.
Microsoft says it can use photos and voice recordings to create a 2D or 3D rendering of the person, and even give the chatbot their voice.
This is all a little bit too reminiscent of an episode of Black Mirror wherein the main character talks to an AI version of her late partner.
